Training at Kigali Health Institute on schedule. Started teaching the substance misuse part of the curriculm. Students very interested in this topic. We discussed the safe use and abuse of alcohol with the treatment required for dependence on alcohol. The problem of alcohol misuse is well documented here, the students were able to recount many of the physical, psychological and social effects of alcohol misuse.

To return to the ornithological theme of my 1st blogg I was watching Heuglins Robin Chats this morning when my attention was taken by the sun birds feeding on the hibiscus flowers. Their irridescent plumage was brilliant in the morning sun. Driving back from town yesterday there was group of several herons perching precariously in some tall trees by the road side, I have seen storks do this but the herons looked very out of place.
